I just experienced a bizarre partial to full power outage for the last hour, potentially due to the large solar flare. There was a power surge, then all of the lights started dimming and brightening in roughly 10 minute cycles, before the power went off entirely. Anyone else have similar experiences (ie, can this be attributed to the highly-publicized celestial event today)?

Hey RC, I did not get any surges here..... a bit south of you on the coast. Is it the Canadian power you be getting?

I think so. Most of Maine used to be on nuclear power, but they shut the plant down in 1997, and I think they've been buying power from Canada and generating a small amount through things like garbage incineration ever since.

Yeah, and the fact that I can multiply by 4 😛.

42 is a Douglas Adams reference. Various people finally badgered me into reading 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', and I'm very glad they did. I've just obtained the other 4 books in the trilogy 😉.
